New York Times Reviews

Pros

I work with some of the smartest, most interesting people from so many different backgrounds. Mission driven so at the end of the day, I feel really good about the kind off work we do.

Cons

Work can be disrupted or hectic depending on the news cycle. This is exciting but also exhausting.

Pros

-Invest in learning -Flexible work hours -Lots of different tools and libraries

Cons

-Not enough time to focus on self or project you believe in -Culture -Awkward big groups

Pros

The formal process used for promotions and hiring are predictable and transparent, there is a sense of fairness above all else. Feedback is taken seriously, and changes are made company-wide when appropriate. There are a lot of opportunities to give and receive feedback, and the overall impression is that everyone is working toward the same goals. People are generally kind to each other, and respectful. The culture is moderately formal, but the work-life balance is fantastic and coworkers often help accommodate life events for each other.

Cons

The formal processes can be complex! Lots of paperwork and things can move slowly. Meeting heavy culture can take up a lot of time. Like any large company, there can be sudden shifts in priorities that can force you to drop everything and take care of a big project, but teams usually work together quite well in those cases. It can be disruptive but such projects are infrequent. It can be difficult to keep track of all the stakeholders for projects in such a large company, and projects can be delayed when a team catches up late in a process.
